I have to notify the House, in accordance with the Royal Assent Act 1967, that Her Majesty has signified her Royal Assent to the following Acts and Measures:
Constitutional Reform Act 2005
Income Tax (Trading and Other Income) Act 2005
Stipends (Cessation of Special Payments) Measure 2005
Care of Cathedrals (Amendment) Measure 2005
Church of England (Miscellaneous Provisions) Measure 2005
As a bill passes through Parliament, MPs and peers may suggest amendments - or changes - which they believe will improve the quality of the legislation.
Many hundreds of amendments are proposed by members to major bills as they pass through committee stage, report stage and third reading in both Houses of Parliament.
In the end only a handful of amendments will be incorporated into any bill.
The Speaker - or the chairman in the case of standing committees - has the power to select which amendments should be debated.
